This paper presents a study of water quality model applications in environmental impact statements which were submitted during recent years in Korea. Most of the applications have reported that the development projects would have significant impacts on the water quality, especially, of streams and rivers. The water quality models, however, were hardly used as an impact prediction tool. Even in the cases where models were used, calibration and verification studies were not performed and thus the predicted results would not be reliable. These poor model applications in environmental impact assessment can be attributable to the fact that there were no available model application guidelines as well as no requirements by the review agency. In addition, the expected waste loads were improperly estimated in most cases, especially in non-point sources, and the predicted parameters were not good enough to understand water quality problems expected from the proposed plans. The effects of mitigation measures were not analyzed in most cases. Again, these can be attributed to no formal guidelines available for impact predictions until now. A brief guideline is described in this paper, including model selection, calibration and verification, impact prediction, and analysis of effects of mitigation measures. The results of this study indicate that the model application should be required to overcome the current improper predictions of environmental impacts and the guidelines should be developed in detail and provided.

Urban flood management(UFM) strategy ought to consider the connections and interactions between existing and new infrastructures to manage stormwater and improve the capacity to treat water. It is also important to demonstrate strategies that can be implemented to reduce the flow at flooding sources and minimize flood risk at critical locations. Although the general theory of spatial impact is popular, modeling guidelines that can provide information for implementation in real-world plans are still lacking. Under such background, this study conducted a modeling research based on an actual target site to confirm the hypothesis that it is appropriate to install green infrastructure(GI) in the source area and to take structural protection measures in the impact area, as summarized in previous studies. The results of the study proved the hypothesis, but the results were different from the hypothesis depending on which hydrological performance indicators were targeted. This study will contribute to demonstrating the effectiveness of strategies that can be implemented to reduce the flow at flooding sources and minimize the risk of flooding in critical locations in terms of spatial planning and regeneration.

This study aims to find out a state of the damages and vulnerable areas from natural disasters in the Korean peninsula using the prevention meteorological database information made by Park(2007b). Through the correlation analysis between damage elements and total property losses, we investigate the damages of public facilities, which have high correlation coefficient, and the cause of disasters and want to propose the basic information to set up the disaster prevention measures in advance. As a result, because most of the total property losses is the damages of public facilities, we can reduce the damages of natural disasters if we can predict the damages of public facilities or carry out the prevention activities in advance. The most vulnerable area for the natural disasters are Cangwon-do and Gyeongsangnam-do provinces. The vulnerable areas for the damages of public facilities by typhoon are Daegu metropolitan city, Cangwon-do, and Gyeongsangbuk-do provinces. These vulnerable areas will take place more frequently due to the climate change including Gyeongsangnam-do province so that we need to set up the disaster prevention measures and natural disaster mitigation plan. Also, we think that it has effect on reducing the damages of natural disasters to predict the damage scale and strongly perform the prevention activities in advance according to typhoon track and intensity.

How is science advice integrated in environmental policymaking? This is an increasingly pertinent question that is being raised since the nuclear catastrophe of Fukushima, Japan, in 2011. Global re-evaluation of energy policies and climate mitigation measures include discussions on how to better integrate science advice in policymaking, and at the same time keeping science independent from political influence. This paper addressed the policy discourse of setting up a national CO2 reduction target in Japanese policymaking between 2009 and 2012. The target proposed by the former DPJ government was turned down, and Japan lacked a clear strategy for long-term climate mitigation. The analysis provides explanations from a quantitative actor-network perspective. Centrality measures from social network analysis for policy actors in an environmental policy network of Japan were calculated to identify those actors that control the discourse. Data used for analysis comes from the Global Environmental Policy Actor Network 2 (GEPON 2) survey conducted in Japan (2012-13). Science advice in Japan was kept independent from political influence and was mostly excluded from policymaking. One of the two largest discourse coalitions in the environmental policy network promoted a higher CO2 reduction target for international negotiations but favored lowering the target after a new international agreement would have been set. This may explain why Japan struggled to commit to long-term mitigation strategies. Applying social network analysis to quantitatively calculate discourse coalitions was a feasible methodology for investigating "discursive power." But limited in discussing the "practice" (e.g. meetings, telephone, or email conversations) among the actors in discourse coalitions.

This study focuses on one of the most typical energy-intensive industries, the steel industry. The two-fold purpose of the study is to develop a model to assess measures to alleviate sulfur dioxide($SO_2$) emissions from the steel industry and to propose a concrete $SO_2$ emission reduction measure from the steel industry. This study partially employed and modified AIM(Asia-Pacific Integrated Model) developed by Japan National Environmental Research Institute to develop AIM/KOREA SULFUR model for simulation. In the study, a base scenario, which is BAU(Business As Usual) scenario, and mitigation scenarios(a use of low-sulfur contain fuel, fuel conversion to cleaner energy, an induction of desulfurization systems, and energy saving) were employed. The results of the simulation are summarized below: The sulphur dioxide emission from the steel industry in 1992 was estimated to be 252,000 metric tons; however, according to BAU scenario, sulphur dioxide emission is expected to be increased to 586,000 metric tons, which is 2.3 times greater than that in 1992 by year 2020. To alleviate such increasement, simulation results under various 7scenarios proved that some degrees of reduction may be possible by an induction of desulfurization systems although there may be numerous ways to interpretate the simulation results; however, the bottom line is that it appears to be difficult to achieve the Korean Ministry of Environment's policy goal-a mitigation of sulphur dioxide concentration to 0.01ppm.

본 연구는 기존에 공학적 분석에 주로 치중하였던 대안수립 방법을 개선하여 경제적 측면에서 최적사업규모를 고려하는 방법을 제시하기 위한 것이다. 이를 위해서 치수사업을 투입과 산출에 의한 생산활동으로 정의하고 투입과 산출조합들을 최적화하는 방식의 대안수립 방안을 제시하였다. 본 논문은 제시된 방법론에 대한 사례연구로서 영산강유역 치수계획을 위한 대안들을 최적사업규모 결정을 통해 수립하였다. 최적사업규모 결정 결과, 최적대안의 순편익이 대안 내의 대규모 단위사업안들의 순편익에 의해 좌우되는 경향이 나타났다. 이러한 문제로 인해 상대적으로 소규모의 단위사업안들은 그 효과가 과소평가되어 최적대안으로부터 제외될 소지가 있으며, 결과적으로 이들로부터 보호받는 잠재적 피해지역들이 치수사업에서 소외될 수 있다. 따라서 피해지역별로 선택적인 홍수방어를 위해서는 단위사업안들을 홍수방어 범위에 따라 전역적 홍수방어대책과 지역적 홍수방어대책으로 분류할 필요가 있는 것으로 사료된다.

본 연구는 기후변화로 인하여 심각해져가고 있는 자연재해에 보다 효율적인 대응방안을 마련하기 위한 이론적 토대를 확립하고자 도시계획분야의 지속가능성 개념을 재정립하였다. 과거 지속가능성 개념에 대한 고찰과 최근 미국 방재학계의 동향을 분석하여 마련한 새로운 지속가능개발은 기존 환경분야 주요 목표인 환경보호와 더불어 이상기후로부터 도시 사회 안전성 확보가 포함되어야 함을 인식하였다. 그리고 도시 사회 안전성 확보는 저탄소녹색도시 관련요소와의 연계 속에서 이뤄져야 함을 강조하였다. 또한 환경, 경제, 사회분야의 목표를 동시에 추구함으로써 야기되는 갈등을 인식하고 대형화된 자연재해에 효과적으로 대응하기 위하여 기존 공학 시설중심의 구조적 방재대책과 더불어 비구조적 대책의 적극적 도입 필요성을 제시하였다. 본 연구에서 제시한 이론적 틀을 바탕으로 도시계획분야의 향후 연구는 갈등 조정 중재를 위한 새로운 제도적 틀 마련과 함께 APFM(the Associated Programme on Flood Management)에서 제시한 '노출(Exposure)'과 '취약성(Vulnerability)' 요인을 바탕으로 환경보호와 안전성 확보는 물론 관련 갈등해소에 기여할 수 있는 세부 요소 목표설정, 구체적 관련 기술개발 등에 노력해야 할 것으로 판단된다.

The bridge deck section composed of a concrete slab resting on two I-beam girders are known to be susceptible to flutter instability and vortex shedding. Moreover, the cable stayed bridge in construction is more vulnerable to wind rather than in service when the free cantilever construction method is applied. This paper describes the effect of the dynamic wind loads on the bridge during construction and the effect of alternative temporary stabilizing measures. Therefore, a series of wind tunnel tests and numerical analysis were carried out to determine if any countermeasures were required.

This paper presents an effective approach for establishing countermeasures against voltage sags based on the concept of area of severity. In order to apply preventive measures against faults such as lightning arrester, overhead earth wires and so on, it is important to find optimal points for installing the preventive measures. The optimal points can be determined by the calculation of the area of severity(AOS) to voltage sags and the expected sag frequency per unit length of line. In this paper, an effective method to find optimal points to apply countermeasures against voltage sags is addressed with case studies.
